The Happiest Elephants in the World
Going to Chobe was an instant decicion of us (me and a friend of mine). We spent some days in the Okavango Delta and were prepared to leave for the Viktoria Falls. Then suddenly we realized that it is possible to interrupt our trip and spend a few hours in Chobe. This is why I have no opinion on hotels. Even I spent only few hours on a boat on the Chobe river, this has left deep impressions. One can see an incredible number of elephants playing in the water, hipos, birds, alligators. I wish I could spend more time there.

Lake Manyara Nation Park is absolutely breathtaking!
Lake Manyara was my first introduction to African wildlife outside of a zoo setting. I was in awe. The variety and numbers of animals we saw was great. The scenery was beautiful & diverse - wooded areas full of monkeys & birds, wetlands and vast open plains each had a unique experience to offer.

The great private lodges and the big five are all here. Savanna Lodge was where we stayed and loved.

A wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa.
The Kruger National Park is a wildlife sanctuary to an amazing number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals. We have had the privilege to seeing all the big five (Lion, Elephant, Rhinoceros, Buffalo and Leopard) in matter of 1.5 hours during many safaris in the Sabi Sands Private Reserves. We also find this area of Kruger National very handy because of its close proximity to the big cities of Johannesburg, the Sun City Resort and the beautiful city of Capetown.

Outstanding first safari
Chobe National Park was the first park we were lucky enough to visit on our first safari. We had nothing to compare it to, but were very happy with our three days there. The guides were knowlegeable and accomodating, the park was "just big enough", and the animal and bird sitings were frequent. If you love elephants, this is the park for you, but we saw all of the big 5 except leopards. Our hotel was close to the park and a lovely place to stay. (The Chobe Wildlife Lodge)

Charge of the wildebeest
Seeing thousands of wildebeest first line up for as far as they eye could see and then as If on cue to start running and then stopping surrounding our jeep with unforgettable sounds, smells and sights is beyond description. The tented camp is the only way to experience the Serengeti. Everyone who worked there were extra special. The food was outstanding. We had the best guidea possible - very knowledgable and friendly.
Weather in October is perfect - from very dry areas to lush grasslands allowed us to see every animal possible.

Review about Tanzania by Tourist from S.F.
If you are an animal lover, then the opportunity to see so much wildlife, so close up, and enjoy the variety of scenery, can't be beat anywhere else in the world.

Review about Botswana by Tomas Mazon
I've been also at Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, and love it. It is not assured that you can find lions, cheetahs or leopards -the animals that I mosly like- but the adventure spirit of these safaris, with so few people within the parks, makes that you feel the wilderness of the place.
